CABOT. Rooming. options facing the Cabot-bound are similarly stellar according to the higher ups. "Sophomores get either a single off a hallway," claims Assistant to the Masters Susan Livingston, "or a suite for an (n+1) number of people which are often partitioned." Sophomores willing to fund "renovations" rarely have to share a bedroom. Besides allowing partitioning, the House happily concedes to opening fire-doors between adjacent rooms, thereby creating complex suites with "essentially an extra bedroom." According to Livingston, however, "the hottest property in Cabot is the Library Suite in Briggs Hall," which is traditionally snagged by seniors...
...three-man tour-de-force focused on a modern painting that is, well, only white. When evening shows let out, crowds line the streets of the theater district, many headed for the restaurants in the area. The quintessential after-theatre hotspot is the Ivy, where a star or two often add to the buzz in the air. The classic London dance club is the enormous Ministry of Sound, near the Elephant & Castle underground station south of the River Thames.

For a relaxed evening out, join the smart crowd at Le Quartier Latin on Ontario in the French student area. Red, plush and pleasant, it often hosts live funk. A bubbly, self-consciously hip crowd occupies Jello Bar on Ontario (they like martinis). It features live jazz and Monday night swing dancing. Booty-shaking? Unity on Ste. Catherine East in the Gay Village and Sona, the after-hours club on Bleury, are where...
...Jackson Ave. at 46th Avenue, Queens. (718-784-2084): Back in the '70s, the city gave this rundown school building to a gang of artists that included Richard Serra and Gordon Matta-Clark. Renovated and reopened a year ago, the space features a combination of wacky, esoteric and often striking contemporary art. A recent merger with MoMA may or may not blunt its edge...
